Thread Name: Can you sing 'Gospel' without Belief?
Subject: RE: Can you sing 'Gospel' without Belief?
Glad to hear the consensus! My ultra-fundamentalist parents were always a bit squeamish hearing their agnostic children sing their beloved gospel songs and I was unable, at that time, to put into words why I knew it was OK.

I still love gospel music, especially Southern Gospel, even though I have a different perspective from its usual position. I like to sing it, I love the harmonies, it just feels down home...
